I viewed your site when I returned home and found it most interesting and was happy that it confirmed our discovery. Thank you.

Comment on Medlock Drift 20: Ancoats Bridge to New Viaduct Street by Eddie Beresford https://integraldrift.wordpress.com/2013/01/18/medlock-drift-20-ancoats-bridge-to-new-viaduct-street/comment-page-1/#comment-255
Wed, 27 May 2015 21:19:08 +0000http://integraldrift.wordpress.com/?p=776#comment-255so sad to the demolition of Ardwick Lads Club. I used to go there when I was a teenager and I had such great times there. My mates were Terry Centanera (Cent), Billy Johnson and so many others whose names have faded into memory. It was a great place to hang out. The resident DJ was Malcolm Barrett (Malc) who lived on the same street as me Pollard Street, Ancoats. All gone now. Such a waste.

Comment on Gaythorn, Medlock Street Car Park by Susan O'Brien https://integraldrift.wordpress.com/2012/12/04/gaythorn-medlock-street-car-park/comment-page-1/#comment-122
Mon, 17 Jun 2013 18:35:13 +0000http://integraldrift.wordpress.com/?p=22#comment-122Came across your blog searching for my ancestral home in Medlock Street. I was born and brought up here between 1951 and 1962 when we were re-housed as part of the slum clearance of Hulme. My Dad ran the sub-post office in Medlock Street, as had his father before him. Strange though it seems to others, I loved being brought up here: it was my patch and it was exciting. I could walk to the centre of town, play on the slot machines in the arcade, spend all Saturday in the cinema watching the films as many times as I wanted, drift along to Manchester University museum and stare at the Egyptian mummies, or go to Woolies and then have pie and gravy at Granelli’s. From my bedroom window I could watch old women from the Salvation Army dwellings wheel a pram full of empties along to the ‘offy’ at the Globe Pub opposite; and slightly more frighteningly see meths drinkers on the ‘croft’ outside our house. The immediate area had few residents but many characters: it was dominated by the Dunlop’s Rubber Company with its strong smells and coal heaps, and by the bustle of workers in factories and workshops all around.

Comment on Ancoats Beach (Field Trip 2) by Dave Griffiths https://integraldrift.wordpress.com/2013/01/27/ancoats-beach-field-trip-2/comment-page-1/#comment-61
Mon, 28 Jan 2013 09:07:19 +0000http://integraldrift.wordpress.com/?p=878#comment-61Great post on really interesting part of Manchester.
In 2000 Manchester artist Bill Longshaw did a project at Pump House about Every Street in which he collected artefacts and stories from former residents. Worth looking up any archive of this. I think Bill is now a curator if community history at museum of Liverpool.

Comment on Medlock Drift 17: Woodhouses to Clayton Mill Bridge and back by Roger B https://integraldrift.wordpress.com/2013/01/15/medlock-drift-17-woodhouses-to-clayton-mill-bridge-and-back/comment-page-1/#comment-45
Tue, 15 Jan 2013 20:11:32 +0000http://integraldrift.wordpress.com/?p=591#comment-45Thanks Dave – I have walked nearly all of the river Medlock route now. Just one section to complete. Then need to think about phase two!
Yes, the Sebald film is fantastic. Also watched Chris Petit and Ian Sinclair’s ‘London Orbital’ – very good too. I want to develop my material more in those directions. As you say “The journey as channel for storytelling’. Oh, and I really like the ‘Eye May-Mah’ Stuart Gurden film you put on my HD – Brian Wilson in Iceland – very evocative! Have you seen ‘Sweetgrass’? About Montana sheep herders? That’s worth a watch if you haven’t seen it.
